★★★★★ 5.0 Rafal Stachurski · Jan 2026

Ambiance was wonderful. City feels in the suburbs. Even on the coldest day of the year, the atmosphere was great and the restaurant was completely packed. Great liquor selection, great bar scene. Great for a sit down dinner or to post up at the bar and have a few drinks and a great meal. We started with the calamari fritti, which was prepared to perfection, alongside the Wagyu meatballs and the beef ragu poutine with crispy steak fries. For our main course, we shared the chicken parm for two; it was absolutely amazing with a perfect crust and great sauce. We also enjoyed the spaghetti, rigatoni, and bucatini pasta, all of which were excellent. I look forward to returning soon to try more wonderful dishes.

We had such a wonderful experience here! The food and cocktails absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was a hit. Some favorites 😋😋😋 Shrimp scampi was so delicious, spaghetti and wagyu meatballs were out of this world, the bronzino was light and yummy, vito sliders were so tasty and perfect to share, pappardelle short rib bolognese was good, the classic margarita pizza was incredible with the perfect crust and fresh ingredients you can taste, the artichoke alla romano were very tasty, and the prosciutto + burrata were definitely a favorite. For dessert we ordered the homemade cannolis which were good, but a bit overwhelming with the orange zest. We would have went easy on the orange zest or could have done without. What really made the night unforgettab

A new restaurant in our neighborhood. Went for lunch to try it. Ordered wagyu meatball and the mussels as appetizers- meatballs served 4 pcs, nothing special, it was ok. I love mussels in general except when it have a fishy aftertaste. This mussels had a bit of fishy aftertaste especially the ones that were not soaked in the sauce. The foccacia was delightfully soft and tasty. For entree, we ordered short ribs Bolognese and the pan seared scallops. Love love love the scallops. Highly recommended it. #supportlocalbusiness

A good dining experience, enjoyed the calamari and sausage arancini. The pizza is large enough to share. Great atmosphere and friendly service by Miguel. V limited parking spots, but valet is available or recommend finding street parking.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lisseth Morocho · Feb 2026

Came in for the first time today and had a 10/10 experience. The server was kind and attentive, the food was the best Italian food i have ever had, and the atmosphere was perfect for a nice but not up tight dining experience. I would highly recommend coming here for a nice night out with friends, family, or significant other.
